Fibres examples of tensile strength versus modulus

Currently, glass fibres are the most widely used, accounting for 95% of the reinforcement fibres consumed by plastics. Aramid and carbon fibres account for nearly all the remaining 5%. [Pg.200]

Natural fibres such as jute, flax and so on are developing to satisfy environmental trends. [Pg.200]

Textile fibres like nylon and polyester are used to reinforce flexible materials such as soft PVC. [Pg.200]

The properties of polymers reinforced with chopped glass fibres dispersed in the polymer matrix depend on [Pg.200]
